OUT ON FEBRUARY 16th
STREAM/SHARE HERE
Vancouver musician Steve Maddock shares his new single 'A Special Kind Of Love' out now on all digital streaming platforms via Salt Spring Records. Listen here.
The 2nd single from Steve Maddock's new album Jack Of All Trades, 'A Special Kind Of Love' follows the release of the lead single 'Holy Man', which came out late last year. Set for release on February 16th, Jack Of All Trades is a joint venture between Steve and Mike Reveley. Mike is a former Vancouver jazz arranger/composer who founded the Capilano University Jazz Studies Program where Steve studied.
A soulful ballad that deals with the real meaning of love, 'A Special Kind Of Love' pulls at the heartstrings as hints of jazz and blues shine through.
"The song is about a young man talking with his father about his new girlfriend," says 'A Special Kind Of Love' songwriter Mike Reveley. "The older man tries to tell him what real love is all about, but he doesn’t quite understand. He feels that he already knows what love is. As he ages, he comes to understand what his father was talking about: 'that special kind of love'."
Over the past two decades, Steve Maddock has been steadily establishing himself as one of Canada’s most versatile vocal talents. Whether sharing a concert stage with a 65-piece symphony orchestra, performing with a 10-piece show band on a cruise ship, or fronting a jazz trio in a local club, he’s able to change gears effortlessly and present the music in a way that’s honest and fresh. Steve’s first love is jazz, but he is equally at home with blues, pop and musicals.
Steve is currently on the Jazz Faculty of Capilano University where he has taught private voice, vocal jazz masterclass, studio performance, vocal improvisation and ear training. He works as an adjudicator and clinician at many different Canadian music festivals.
'A Special Kind Of Love' is available now on Spotify, Apple Music/iTunes, and other digital retailers and streaming services worldwide. For more information, please visit stevemaddock.com.
